The JUDGES Act would create 63 judgeships over the next 10 years , including 11 in 2025 and another 11 in 2027 when Trump will be president.

Democrats fear the bill would give President-elect Trump additional opportunities to fill the courts with conservative ideologues.

The bill passed the Senate unanimously in August , but House Republicans waited until after the election to bring it up for a vote.
